In an apparatus for controlling a vehicle clutch which is located between an internal combustion engine and a transmission device whose gear shift position is determined in accordance with the operating position selected by a selector, the apparatus comprises a control signal generator which determines the operating pattern for engaging the clutch in response to at least a position signal showing an operating position selected by the selector and produces a control signal for operating the clutch according to the determined operating pattern in response to the output of a command signal for commanding the beginning of the starting of the vehicle. Thus, the clutch is engaged in accordance with an engaging pattern corresponding to the selected operating position of the selector at that time in response to the output of the command signal.
